[Verse]
C G/D Em Come out Virginia, don't let me wait C D G You Catholic girls start much too late C G/D Em But sooner or later it comes down to fate C D I might as well be the one C G/D Em Well, they showed you a statue, told you to pray C D G They built you a temple and locked you away C G/D Em But they never told you the price that you pay C D For things that you might have done
[Chorus]
G C Only the good die young D G That's what I said G C Only the good die young D G Only the good die young
[Verse]
C G/D Em You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd C D G We ain't too pretty, we ain't too proud C G/D Em We might be laughing a bit too loud C D But that never hurt no one C G/D Em So come on Virginia, show me a sign C D G Send up a signal, I'll throw you the line C G/D Em The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind C D Never lets in the sun

[Bridge]
D C G You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation A C You got a brand new soul, and a cross of gold D C G But Virginia they didn't give you quite enough information A C You didn't count on me when you were counting on your rosary D C G/B Oh woah woah
[Verse]
C G/D Em They say there's a heaven for those who will wait C D G Some say it's better but I say it ain't C G/D Em I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints C D The sinners are much more fun

C G/D Em Come out, come out, come out Virginia, don't let me wait, C D G You Catholic girls start much too late C G/D Em Sooner or later it comes down to fate C D I might as well be the one G C You know that only the good die young
